Can the Democrats reboot the tax code to 1980?

I really want the tax rates back to JFK days. 70%? or something top rate? 10% of the current tax loopholes?

but how about going back to the tax code of reagan. the right USED to love reagan. now he doesnt seem to be shit compared to the almighty trump.

i seriously dont get that. wasnt he st. ronnie?

but they never killed cops for him.

like a PC thats seriously virus infected i really wish the country could reboot back to 1976. we had the BEST block party july 4

we could bring in so much more revenue if we taxed now what we did then.

but if nothing else go back to 1982. werent rates at least much higher for corps and top 1%? and fewer loopholes.

less overseas hiding.

how the hell do we pay off 30 trillion in debt thats mostly there because of republican spending policies doing what we are doing now?

in the next two years can the dems redo some major tax stuff with no gop help like this current bill?

The Republicans and Trump really ran up a tab as did Bush II and Reagan.

A strong economy will take care of the national debt over time if the tax code is fair.
